Many in my area were chanting âwe want Gunnar!â To which I quietly chanted âno we dont!â
Iâve seen several online not happy with his performance but I thought he looked like a veteran QB. He didnât go for the long ball as many times as I would like, but he didnât throw it into double and triple coverage like Watson did so many times last year. I remember when the situation was bad enough many thought we needed to put in Free (me included) but what a terrible terrible idea that was. It seemed to me like our O-line didnât know what to expect from the D-line and many times got caught off guard. I think this is evident when we look at the stellar RB stable we have that put up no more than 40 yards a piece.
When Iâm looking back at it on tv instead of being in the stadium it seems like our O was trying to play a safe gameplan, take our medicine when we had to, and wait for something to open up. I was impressed with the first drive of the game. They werenât set on running or passing every down. They played it very intentionally and it resulted in points. I donât know what happened after that. Me and (The HC we don’t speak of) will just have to look at the film I guess.

Troy's offense has looked like an actual offense for all of 1 game, thats the Ark St game last year because the QB stretched the field and didnt just throw checkdowns and dump offs the way (The HC we don’t speak of) DEMANDS!!! when you dont stretch the field then other teams just crowd the line and then there is nowhere to run. Seems pretty basic

Seems pretty basic I mean, at some point, you have to be able to run the ball when they know you're gonna run the ball. Three years with talented backs, and no run game to speak of. How does a HC, OL, or OC go through their career and completely ignore the run game? How do you not fix that?

Iâm not knocking the new guy, heâs only had two games. I promise you a Schlarman or Moore Oline would move people off the line of scrimmage.

You're not going to get much running done with the O line getting stuffed, on occasion. As much as they ran D. Lewis out of the backfield, you'd think they would use him as a lead blocker, or max protect to get him some extra time to throw.

Too much experience for them not to perform better...

It's hard to be excited when (The HC we don’t speak of) has shown 0 ability to handle coaching in close games but I think the players themselves did a good job. This team on talent alone should finish the season with around 6 or 7 wins. With a better coach they are pushing 10 wins. I hope that a 7-5 season with a bowl game though isn't enough to save (The HC we don’t speak of) his job.

I said it all along that we would know where we stand after the liberty game! Well now we know! (The HC we don’t speak of) canât make adjustments during the game and he still canât win a close game! But we also know is that we have a phenomenal defense that keeps getting better! This week is a must win for the program! Maybe just maybe we can roll off three in a row! I know the game on October 2 will be difficult but I believe liberty is a better team than South Carolina and We have a chance based on talent alone! The games between Louisiana,Ap and Coastal Will more than likely decide weather the (The HC we don’t speak of) ship will continue to sail or sink

I won't defend (The HC we don’t speak of) after that offensive performance. It's like Groundhog Day when we play teams with defenses that aren't garbage. All respect to Brandon Hall though, he has redeemed himself since that first year under (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of).

Those players deserve better, regardless of who is the coach.

Not calling a timeout before halftime had the time management skills of Les Miles and Mark Richt all over it. No defense for that or chippy Saturday

I was 5 beers into the game and even I was calling to take a time out! I don’t make nearly the amount off Monet that Dip is making and I knew to take a time out! I share the same B-day as that moron but I think I will start celebrating on the 8th or 10th.
